I don't think it installed correctly. There doesn't appear to be any other Windows SDK installation AFAICT either. Stupid f#&*^&# microsoft tools...

"\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\" doesn't exist :(

As I suspected, it must not have installed correctly.

Nick, did you notice my reply from 4 days ago? http://forum.dlang.org/post/lumcuftlvokawuneqftb@forum.dlang.org I believe that under certain conditions, the MS linker will just skip over libraries of certain bitness, so I suspect that might be your problem. I don't think the platform/Windows SDK is related to the problem in your first post because Visual Studio 2005 (VS8), which is what you had in your paths, comes with its own copy (the PlatformSDK directory).
